Single layer DVD's max at 4.7GB and as far I'm aware W7-10 each fit on a single layer DVD.

Just made a bootable Windows 10 USB myself and it only used 3.4GB.
A soldier will fight long and hard for a bit of colored ribbon.
Triggered got it before me, but the two Win 10 installers i have are both on 4GB thumb drives.
Last Friday I made a USB installer for W10 too since I wanted to try to new creator update they announced at Build. A 4 GB USB is plenty. It's very easy to create, provided you already have a Windows computer to use to set the USB up.
Just download the media creator from windows website. Google it. It does everything.
